Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 14, 2026

Neelachal Vastushastra ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, process, and safeguard your data when you use the Neelachal Vastushastra Mobile Application (the "App") and its associated backend services.

1. Information We Collect

To deliver precise astrological calculations, course lectures, and customizable profile capabilities, we collect the following categories of information:

A. Account and Registration Data

  • User Details: Name, Email Address, and Phone Number provided during user registration.
  • Security and Authentication: Hashed passwords, active session JSON Web Tokens (JWT), and verification OTP codes.
  • Profile Customization: Optional user-uploaded profile pictures/avatars.

B. Astrological Calculation Inputs

To generate accurate house cusps, planetary calculations, and Kundali charts, we collect:

  • Date of Birth
  • Time of Birth
  • Place of Birth (which is securely converted into geographical coordinates: Latitude and Longitude).

C. Session and Device Capabilities

  • On-Device Storage: We utilize secure local storage settings to store your authentication tokens and preferences, keeping your account logged in across sessions.
  • Screen Security Settings: To safeguard our proprietary astrological calculations and chart display systems, the App incorporates tools that block and disable screenshot and screen-recording features on sensitive pages (such as the Kundali Details Screen).

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your data for purposes necessary to run the App features, including:

  • Generating Astrological Charts: Running precise astronomical calculations (planetary positions, Julian days, and house divisions) via the Swiss Ephemeris engine.
  • Managing Accounts: Verifying your registration batch codes, resetting forgotten passwords, and securing active sessions.
  • Securing our App Content: Preventing unauthorized copying or duplication of charts and calculation layouts.
  • Course Access: Providing authorized video tutorials, lessons, and progress tracking based on your student account privileges.

3. Data Storage and Third-Party Integrations

We do not share, sell, or disclose your personal details to advertising platforms. We rely on the following third-party infrastructure components under strict data protection protocols:

  • Database Management: Your profile and astrological data are stored securely on MongoDB Atlas cloud databases.
  • Avatar Hosting: Profile avatar images are uploaded and retrieved securely through the Cloudinary API.
  • System Communications: Passwords, OTP notifications, and authentication emails are dispatched via Hostinger SMTP.
  • Geocoding Service: Birthplaces entered in the App are converted to latitude and longitude parameters using requests to OpenStreetMap Nominatim.

4. Data Security and Retention

  • Data Encryption: All network traffic between the App and our backend services is encrypted using HTTPS and TLS standards.
  • Password Security: Passwords undergo high-strength cryptographic hashing before saving.
  • Token Authorization: APIs are secured and require valid JWT headers for operation.

5. Your Rights and Access Controls

You can access and correct your profile information (Name, Phone number, and Birth details) directly within the App's Profile settings. If you wish to delete your account or request complete removal of your registration details, please reach out to us using the contact details below.

6. Policy Updates

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will alert you of changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about how we safeguard your data.
